The Federal Treasury released a new schedule effective August 1 updating weekly instalments for taxpayers with dependents. Under the new scale, instalments are reduced for dependents and wage brackets are adjusted, with gradual reductions toward the top end. The plan aims to straighten tax contributions while addressing overpaving in prior graduated rates.
The report explains that wage deductions will run for 40 weeks instead of 25 weeks this financial year. Employers must follow current rules until the new scale takes effect on August 1, except where exemption certificates have been issued to employees. Certificates remain valid until July 21 for the average employee, with deductions continuing toward the financial year end. The timing depends on whether the employee’s tax is above or below average, and the longer period reduces instalment amounts accordingly.
